Another winning film: “Poor Things”
With seven trophies under his belt, Christopher Nolan was definitely the winner of the evening, but things were also looking good for Giorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” with five awards. Emma Stone, who plays Bella in the work, is a scientist comes to life and then begins to discover the world like a child, was named Best Actress. This meant she was able to prevail against “Barbie” actress Margot Robbie.
German actress Sandra Hülser, who was nominated in the category for her leading role in the Holocaust drama “The Zone of Interest,” also received nothing. However, the work was honored as Best British Film.
“Anatomy of a Case,” which also stars German actress Sandra Hülser, also won the Best Original Screenplay category.
